详解

A

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。Daryl在送货途中看到一位晕倒的女孩，为了帮助她

而耽误了不少时间。因为不能按时交货，他担心老板会生气，而此时母亲打电话过来，告诉

他他要经过的一座桥在两小时前塌方了，他因为帮助别人而逃过一劫。

1.B解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“DaryFsdeliverytruck”可知，他是去

洛杉矶送货物的。故选B。

2.A解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“HehadtomakeittoLosAngelesbymidnight

anddidn*thavetimetobeahero.”可知，他需要在午夜之前赶到洛杉矶，怕因救女孩而迟到，

所以最初他把那位女孩留在路边。故选A。

3.C解析：句意理解题。根据上下文可知，Daryl出了警察局后，接到妈妈的电话说

前方路上的桥塌方了，而他由于救助了那个女孩而幸免于难，所以这里表示Daryl对这个消

息感到极度震惊。故选C。

B

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一档英国系列电视节目，给观众介绍如何

减少食物浪费以及如何以较少的预算做出美味佳肴。

1.B解析：细节理解题。根据第一段"GoodMorningBritain'sSusannaReidisusedto

grillingguestsonthesofaeverymorning,butsheiscookingupastorminherlatest

role-showingfamilieshowtopreparedeliciousandnutritiousmealsonatightbudget.“可知，

SusannaReid开辟了一个新的节目。故选B。

2.C解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的"InSaveMoney:GoodFood,shevisitsa

differenthomeeachweekandwiththehelpofchefMattTebbuttofferstoptipsonhowtoreduce

foodwaste,whilepreparingrecipesforunder£5perfamilyaday.“可知，Susanna在Matt

Tebbutt的帮助下，提供如何减少食物浪费的好建议，同时给每个家庭准备低于5英镑的食

谱。可见MattTebbutt是协助做烹饪的事情。故选C。

3.D解析：标题归纳题。根据文章的整体内容可知，文章作者一直在讲如何用较少的

钱做出好的食物。根据文章中“preparedeliciousandnutritiousmealsonatightbudget"，“how

toreducefoodwaste,whilepreparingrecipesforunder£5perfamilyaday"，“howcheaplywe

canmakethisfoodourselves"及“lessexpensivebutstilltastyrecipes”可知，本文主要讲述如何

用较少的钱做出好的食物，"CookingWellforLess”符合文意，适合做标题。故选D。

C

【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述作者引导孩子主动捐献玩具，并从玩简

单玩具中获得快乐的做法。

1.A解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段中“ThegoodnewsisthatIcanhelpmyownkids

learnearlierthanIdidhowtolivemorewithless.”可知，人们通常认为越多越好。故选A。

2.C解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“Shechosetosellafewlargerobjectsthatwere

lessoftenusedwhenwepromisedtoputthemoneyintoherschoolfund（基金）.”可知，当我们

承诺给她把卖玩具的钱放到她的教育基金里时，她同意卖玩具。故
